Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive trait that causes muscular weakness, deterioration of muscle tissue, and loss of coordination. The allele for DMD is represented by Xd and the normal allele is represented by XD . Neither parent has DMD, but both of their sons express the trait. What are the genotypes of the parents?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - XDXd and XD Y

Explanation:

Sex-linked disorders are the disorders that are expressed only when there is two copy of the mutated allele or have not masked by the dominant allele of the gene. In DMD, the dominant allele is XD and the mutated allele is Xd. To express it there are the following genotype possible-

in women XdXd, and in men XdY, so these two genotypes are not possible for the parents in this case. If a mutated allele is present with the dominant allele it will be considered as carrier women but diseased will not be found in them.

So the correct genotype would be

mother: XDXd ( a carrier woman)

father : XDY (normal man)

Describe how positive control in prokaryotes can be altered by the external environment

Answers

Answer:

The positive control is control when there is an activator present which acts as a regulatory protein so the operon and activator binds and initiates the stimulation of transcription to express the gene. In absence of this activator or regulatory protein, the operon will be inactivated.

External environmental stimuli can lead to alteration of the positive control in prokaryotes such as excess lactose in the environment. These environmental stimuli can induce transcription in prokaryotes.

In this example, if glucose is not available in the environment, the transcription of the lac operon will be induced by the presence of lactose in the environment.

A group of students wanted to know if millipedes prefer moist or dry environments. They suspected that millipedes would prefer moist environments because they had observed that millipedes are usually found under decaying logs.

Answers

Answer:

The suspicion of the students are very correct. Millipedes prefer damp environments. They need water moisture to survive.

Explanation:

Millipedes are known as arthropods. An Arthropod is an animal without a spinal vertebra, which possesses a segmented body, paired jointed appendages, and an exoskeleton.

They are found to be very ardent and quicker at recycling natural waste than animals and plants.

Without adequate moisture, Millipedes can die within 48 hours.

If sunlight and a radio wave are both traveling through water, compare the speed of each wave. Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

Speed of both will be decreases when they travel through the medium of water.

Explanation:

Both sunlight and radio wave has the same speed in vacuum but both speed will be decreases when they travel through the medium of water because the consistency of water is more than air which make hard to travel for sunlight and radio wave. The speed of sunlight is slightly decreases but the radio wave can't go too far in the water and finally stops so we can say that sunlight can travel through water but radio wave none.

Indicate whether a solution will have more OH– or H+ if the pH value of the solution
is 10.

Answers

A pH level of 10 is very alkaline, and one indicator of a solution being an base would be that it was a hydroxide (OH-) therefore the solution would have more OH- .

The solution with a pH value of 10 will have more OH- ions.  

In chemistry, pH is described as a scale that is specifically utilized to specify the basicity or acidity of an aqueous solution. The pH of different solutions are described as follows:

Acidic solution: If a solution has pH<7, then the solution is acidic and tend to have more H+ ions than OH- ions Neutral solution: The solution is neutral when pH=7 and the concentration of H+ and OH- ions are the same Basic solution: If a solution has pH>7, then the solution is Basic and tend to have more OH- ions than H+ ions

Thus, in this case, pH>7 and thus we can conclude that the solution will have more OH- ions than H+ ions.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in
the epinephrine signaling pathway?
A.It converts a polymer to its monomer subunits.
B.It moves substances across the plasma membrane.
ect!
C.It accelerates the production of a second messenger.
D.It transfers phosphate groups from to protein substrates.

Answers

Answer:

C.It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a second messenger that activates the protein kinase A (PK-A) protein by dissociation of its regulatory subunit from the catalytic subunit. The first step of the epinephrine signaling pathway consists of the hormone binding to the epinephrine receptor localized on the cell surface. This binding activates a G protein inside the cell, which in turn activates the adenylyl cyclase enzyme. Subsequently, adenylyl cyclase converts ATP molecules into cAMP molecules. Since cAMP transports the message of the epinephrine hormone within the cell this molecule (cAMP) is considered to be a second messenger. Finally, cAMP activates the PK-A enzyme which phosphorylates different proteins and thus triggers different biological processes.

What cell parts are common to What cell parts are found only in plant cells? What are found only in animal cells?
all of these cells?

Answers

Answer:

The organelles found only in plant cells include- chloroplast, cell wall, plastids, and a large central vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. What is the composition of a plant cell wall? The cell wall of a plant is made up of cellulose

Animal cells are eukaryotic cells or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Unlike prokaryotic cells, DNA in animal cells is housed within the nucleus. In addition to having a nucleus, animal cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, or tiny cellular structures, that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation

Answer: the plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and central vacuole structures not found in animal cells. Plant cells do not have lysosomes or centrosomes.

A researcher places part of a plant cell in a beaker of water. She observes that the plant leaves release bubbles of gas when she shines a light on the beaker, and this is due to the plants going through photosynthesis, which is in Option B.

What is the product and the bubble formation in photosynthesis?

The bubbles that are seen in water when plants are kept in light are actually oxygen bubbles. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released into the surrounding environment as a waste product. When plants are submerged in water, this oxygen can accumulate and form bubbles. This process is called bubbling. The bubbles that are seen in the water are an indication that the plant is actively photosynthesizing and producing oxygen.

Hence, she observes that the plant leaves release bubbles of gas when she shines a light on the beaker, and this is due to the plants going through photosynthesis, which is in Option B.
